Kaatsbaan International Dance Center sits on 153 bucolic acres on the former site of Tivoli Farms. The expansive rural setting offers welcome peace of mind for the dancers and choreographers that pilgrimage to Kaatsbaan's grounds. Since the nonprofit opened its doors in 2000, it has offered residencies to hundreds of individual dancers and companies so they can create, rehearse, and workshop new productions. On November 11, Kaatsbaan will host their Passion for Dance Gala, an evening of world-class dance, gourmet food, and wine. Lauren Lovett, the 24-year-old prodigy choreographer, will debut a new piece, and principal dancers from the New York Theatre Ballet will perform Jerome Robbins's "Antique Epigraphs." The event kicks off with a champagne reception at 6pm. Kaatsbaan.org
